StayFocus

Beat procrastination with focus sessions & streaks

What it does

StayFocus helps you start and finish deep work sessions without getting lost in distractions. Unlike typical focus timers, it combines structured focus sessions, a Brain Dump to capture stray thoughts without breaking flow, task and project tracking, streaks, and live presence for lightweight accountability.

StayFocus is a global productivity app for anti-procrastination focus sessions, deep work accountability, team presence, and AI-assisted workflows.

StayFocus is built backwards from that: a smart focus timer for Pomodoro-style deep work, a quiet place to offload whatever distracts you, and small experiments you can actually keep up. Less organizing your work. More doing it. A…from stayfocus.now

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
